OMAHA, Neb. - In the early spring chill of April in Omaha, the University of Baseball team battled back from an eleven run deficit late, only to come up short, falling to Creighton, 12-7 in the series finale at TD Ameritrade Park Sunday afternoon.

With game time temperatures hovering in the lower to middle 20s, the Purple Aces sent out freshman right hander Jace Burke to face the Blue Jays. Making his first start in two weeks, Burke gave up five runs in four hits and four walks across 2 1/3 innings of work, as UE found themselves in an early 5-1 hole.
